Paine, Manager, Engineering Department. Aetna Casualty & Surety Company, Hartford, Conn., who presided. Panel Discussion N CHAIRMAN PAINE: Al every meeting that I have attended in this Congress some one lias raised the question of industrial dis ease. This is a subject which has been maligned in some cases and has been a fan tasy on the part of others. This, however, should not in any way destroy the realities that arc back of the industrial disease prob lem. In the discussion of this broad problem, wc have asked the medical profession and the law lo help us this morning. Each phase of the problem will be discussed on an or derly basis. Wc have assigned as the first speaker for each of these subjects one of the men on this platform. After he has finished his preamble, we will ask the members on the floor to present any question they may. have on the subject. Wc have the following subjects to be dis cussed: "Health Hazards in Sprav Paint ing." Dr. Eugene Walsh, Associate Super visor of Medical Service, International Harve-tcr Company, Chicago, will open this subject. "Fatigue and Its Relation lo Occupational Disease." This subject will be taken up by Dr. Xorbcrt Enzcr, Director of Labora tories. Mount Sinai Hospital, Milwaukee. "The Toxic Limits of Common Solvents." This subject will he opened up by Dr. Elston L. Belknap, of Milwaukee. "I-cad in Industrial Processes." Dr. Bel knap will also handle this subject. "Skin Affections." This will be handled by Dr. M. J. Reuter, Dermatologist anil Syphilologist, of Milwaukee, Wis. The last, hut one of the most important, will be ''.Should Orrupatioiial Diseases Be Considered as Industrial Injuries?" This will be handled by H. A: Nelson, Director of Workmen's Compensation Department. Wisconsin Industrial Commission of Mad ison. We all regret that severe illness keeps Dr. Paul flrelim, Supervisor of Industrial Hygiene Unit of Wisconsin State Board of Healtli at Madison, from being present. The panel wilt he opened on "Health Hazards in Spray Painting." Dr. Wal-li. Spray Painting DR. EUGENE WAI.SII: Painting is atopic that has received considerable atten tion. There lias been an increasing number of hazards imported into the trade. Mo-t of these have received wide attention, par ticularly in the past few years. It has ls-eit incident to the wide use of the -pray gtm and of the lacquers, particularly. Many of the solvents and products used in the paint industry have known toxicities. Others arc in the experimental stage, so far as ti-e ai.u so far as their hazards to health arc rrmccrned. In the old days of brush or dip or llou painting, still widely used, solvents of rather low volatility were employed, and the haz ards associated therewith were not as gri-ai. However, when we come to the spray gun. particularly in its use in the recently devel oped lacquers, wc come into a ho't of new solvents. The quantities used per year m lacquers amt solvents in the paint industry in the United Slates reach astronomical propor tions. Many, many tons arc used. s' mv i..sj n.t?- - * * J >.- w r j. os-i?g "n.2 .-|i^5 5 " s J .ft" "Ilfs uni nmtr-i 5- -3->-54" I'lf-S - s - - -- rt -- !>-" = 3- ;- --sk -=sj-~; ,, c,, o|"^r=.

The Effectiveness of Grade Crossing Protective Devices from the Viewpoint of State Authorities By WARREN HENRY Assistant Chief Engineer, Illinois Commerce Commission, Springfield, 111. The art of grade crossing protection has made rapid advance in the past few years and I In-lievc it is fair to say that the state of public opinion on this point has advanced fully as much. It was not long ago for in stance that a major obstacle to progress in this field seemed, to some of iis at least, the prevalence of what wxs often called the claim agent point of view, that is an undue emphasis upon legal liability rather than on public safety. Another very persistent mintal attitude. 9 I l I t t j i I .i ii h is lug ilrn geti it i wlu war hcti poir Y (aiv heci the the aftal T1 dem ini pc into on a tresp have proci hers A a faero" a ecu of pe and t the i era-ii Can i ocrtip dangr in the tion it the pi gered Aim stmnn Momli WaiiKef inc. \ in the citlent crltcrithe aer loscthc mental, emphas tinn.% t! upon r certain sing Safety f Chiefs of Police, * programs, the railroad* time, money and effort oment standpoint in this ng grade crossing acciimst he the thrmc--jn-t ihemc in the genera) plan .cment. ment in the country i* to have men patrolling every hour of the thiy. .nestion of assigning men of the city where the accidents are occurring-- day that experience in*re the most prevalent-- '> the men to he on the mlations that have been rident*. the country have learned rcemeut pay;--in lives prevented.
